So, where do I start??? My husband use to be in the "mortgage" business. It was all fun and dandy. We were able to do anything we wated. We were even able to help others monetarily, I seriously never thought that the money would run out. We bought a wonderful place in CA with a half acre and a big house. Added a pool, landscaping, all the amenities you could think of. To boot, money in the bank. We bought in the $450's and at one point the house was appraised for 1 Million. I didn't think that it was being ridiculous with our money. I kept telling myself, it's all relevant to how much we made.
We moved to the Central Valley from Silicon Valley to get more house for the buck. We worked ourselves up. We bought a new house for the low $200's and then spent 2 years there. We loved it, but the loan business was booooming!! We got "caught up"" into the wants of things, like all our Silicon Valley friends and family. We had 2 little kids that were 2 and under. Money was great, so why not have a bigger family. We sold our house after 2 years and bought our "dream house". It was perfect, $$ was not an issue. So, we had twins and then 2 more. It was the greatest gifts and blessings. We did nothing but have a wonderful life with other family and friends. We were living the life!
Soon to be Continued... Like and I will post more
That leads us to 2008. Wow it was getting tight. My husband couldn't find a job to save his life that didn't lay off. UGH!! The bank account was dwindling like crazy. More like a whirlwind. 2 years on unemployment. Is this what it feels like, to lose it all? Or did we?
